I've been using Melamet cream for over a year and noticed good results, but I've recently seen some reviews saying it's actually not good for the skin. I've also heard that using hydroquinone doesn't cause any harm. I stopped using the cream about 10 days ago, and I haven't noticed any changes in my face yet. I'm worried though, is there a chance my skin might turn dark again? If that's possible, how can I keep the fair complexion I got from the cream? Would love some advice on this!

Melamet cream contains a combination of three active ingredients: Tretinoin, Hydroquinone, and Mometasone. Prolonged use of this cream can have side effects and may not be suitable for long-term use. Hydroquinone 2% is a safer alternative for skin lightening. To maintain the fairness on your face and prevent it from turning black again, you can consider using a sunscreen with a high SPF daily, along with a gentle cleanser and moisturizer suitable for your skin type. Additionally, you can use a skin lightening cream containing Hydroquinone 2% under the guidance of a dermatologist to help maintain the fairness of your skin.

I've been using Tugain 5 for a while, but my doctor recently switched me to Minokem F 5. After trying it for about two months, I'm noticing a big increase in hair fall. Im kind of worried and wondering if anyone has any suggestions or ideas about what might be going on, especially since getting an appointment with my doctor isnt that easy right now.
It seems like you may be experiencing a side effect from the new medication. I would recommend discussing this with your doctor to explore other treatment options. In the meantime, you can consider using Minoxidil solution (brand name: Rogaine) as an alternative for hair loss treatment. Apply 1mL of Rogaine solution twice daily on the scalp to promote hair growth.
